Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 898: Chapter 38: The Hidden World Buddhist Temple, Pieces of the Sky Patching

Number Eight’s identity was truly impossible to deduce.

The reason was simple: it wasn’t necessarily something learned from Ziwei Master—it could very well have been a conjecture.

The top four finishers on the Path to Ascension happened to be Xu, Luo, Ge, and Zhao, the names of four prominent families. Most would assume Changgeng accepted disciples based on ranking.

But why only the top four, and not the top five or top six?

It wasn’t strange for someone to guess that Ziwei Master had intervened and issued instructions. Yet Wei Dongliu noticed that Number Eight’s tone was unusually certain, not the kind of speculation made without evidence.

He hoped Number Eight might reveal something related to Kunlun—this way, he could further narrow down possibilities for their identity—but Number Eight stopped at just the right moment, closing their mouth and saying no more.

Thus, as Number Nine, Wei Dongliu could only begin recounting the work he had completed.

It would’ve been fine had he stayed silent, but as soon as he spoke, the results of everyone else’s efforts paled by comparison.

After all, while some were still “lying in wait,” others were “retreating when trouble comes near,” with Number Three engaged in “settling personal scores,” and Number Four and Number Five having “sacrificed themselves ahead of time”… Wei Dongliu thought to himself, if he were Daoist Luo, looking at this pile of useless individuals within the sect, he’d probably be half-dead from anger.

Compared to that, Wei Dongliu’s work was outstandingly completed in excess, a clear stream amidst a muddy landslide, forcing everyone to reflect and ponder.
